Sphere (orb) visible only with IR camera flying very low over the lake.

My wife, my daughter and my son in law were on a boat in one of the lakes of the Towne Lake subdivision. I was searching the sky with my Bestguarder infrared camera and caught in a video a UFO in the form of a sphere (like an orb), but it was not visible to the naked eye and it did not have any sound. It was flying very low and, as you can see in the video, there is a moment in which it rapidly changes direction. The object is fully illuminated but its contour is not fully defined. It looks like it has an aura around it.

While relaxing in our hot tub, 3 small dot lights flying in rapid movements in all directions in the sky!

My husband and I were sitting in our hot tub, relaxing after work. We saw one small dot of light move across the open dark sky in a straight line going North, then move in rapid movements in all directions, and disappeared. Then almost immediately 3 appeared, following each other in rapid movements in all directions, but still grouped together going East. All three disappeared at the same time. All three UFO were small dots of light. The first one we saw was bigger than the stars and the further they went, the dimmer and smaller they were.

Standing outside saw a ball of light shoot so fast in a downward position my best guess is it was some place close to the North it was not high in the sky either it happened so fast! Than shortly after you see helicopters with possible police lights several circle area! I don’t know what city it was in but like I said near the Mountains towards the North possibly near Hacienda Heights I’m not entirely sure of location but we saw it and it was really nothing like I’ve seen before!

Triangle-shaped UFO only visible with IR camera hovering over neighborhood

I routinely use my Bestguarder infrared camera to find UFO's during clear nights. I was on the balcony and I captured with my camera the video of this UFO which seems like a triangular object hovering very low over our neighborhood. It was not visible to the naked eye and there was no sound. Clearly, they do not want to be seen.

lighted disk hovering about 200ft up in the air about 100ft ahead of me and immediately flew backward and upward at an angle

I left my house at 5:19a the morning of Friday, September 27, 2019 a running route I often took but not usually that early in the morning. I had just passed the two mile mark in my route turning the corner on the path about to run parallel to the busiest street around. There were a decent number of people out in their cars waiting at the light or driving on their way to work. As I rounded the corner going left (north on Fry road), I noticed a very bright strange disk shape object hovering about 100ft ahead of me and about 200ft up in the air over the CVS ahead of me. It was extremely bright. The shape was very odd, the disk was elongated from left to right (about an 1.5 inches if I held my finger up in front of me) and the lights were on the side of it. It was silent and the morning was also pretty silent except for the cars. I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't turned that corner. As I looked up at it, it hovered for a couple seconds and then flew backward and upward at an angle into space until it turned into nothing. from the time it flew off until the time it disappeared was probably 1 second. It was faster than anything I'd ever seen and the angle at which it flew backward was not natural to an airplane. Also, when it left it was silent and made no noise. I stopped and caught my breath from running and shock and looked around so see if anyone was near and had seen but I was the only one on the trail that morning. The light changed to green and the cars started moving as if nothing had happened. I continued my run and made it back home at about 6:15a after a total of 5 miles ran in the loop. I didn't see it again and I haven't seen anything like it here since. For a description of myself: I was 29 years old at the time, Female, white, non-smoker, athletic competitive runner and working full time.

We looked out the window, which faces eastward. At first we thought it may be the Goodyear blimp. However, it disappeared twice, then reappeared from nowhere. Its color seemed to mimic color of the horizon, grayish blue. Before it totally disappeared. It re-emerged as we drove home towards same direction. Very strange. Definitely not a passenger plane.

4 orange Lights Smoothly Floating in the clear sky effortlessly in a check mark formation

My Friends and I were laying down looking at the stars on a lake listening to music. one friend stood up and the other sat up to talk to him and as i played there i noticed 4 lights moving under the big dipper they were flying in a v formation but more like a check mark cuz there was an extra one on the right side, the were orange tint but not like a normal light it was more of a glow, the manner of which they moved was amazing it was like a leaf on a body of water being pushed by the breeze, i thought i was imagining it so i said ever so elegantly "((What)) is that?" and to my surprise both of my friends saw the same object we were baffled and we watched it for a few more seconds before it disappeared into the light pollution of houston, now this a key part of this sighting PLANES do not disappear in light pollution you can still see a plane in light pollution because it does not fly high enough so given this and the size of these lights they had to be! of enormous size they were bigger than a plane that passed by later that we watched even as it was flying into the light pollution, the light pollution covered theses orbs meaning it was flying above the 3000 miles that a plane flys this was a breath taking experience and changed my life. there was no sound!!! we heard the plane that came later!!!! ((What)) did i SEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! 2 planes came after i don't know if they were military or not but they were noticeable as i described, the lights also appeared to never change distance and if there was a weird haze almost like you see on camouflaged ships in sic fi movies. truly breath taking.

Bright stationary disc of light in pre-dawn

I get up early for work, and it is not unusual to take the dog out before daybreak. On May 10, I was outside with the dog at 5:15 am, waiting for her to finish up so I could get ready for work. I was looking at the sky to see what stars I could identify, but there were scattered clouds so I didn’t see many. I realized there was a very bright light behind one group of clouds and thought to myself that the moon was extremely bright. The clouds were low and as they moved past the bright light, what I originally thought was the glow of the moon was not the moon after all.

I didn’t see any definitive shape, just a very bright light, like a spotlight, and I thought it must be a helicopter. It definitely wasn’t an airplane--it didn’t move. Then I realized for a spotlight to be that bright and that large, I should hear some sort of sound.

While we do live a couple of miles from a freeway, at that hour of the morning, there is very little noise in the neighborhood. This morning was no different, and this was no helicopter.

I looked out at the yard to see where the dog was then looked back at the sky—no more than 5-6 seconds had lapsed--and the light was gone.

Object was small, spherical-shape with lighted tip craft that rocketed straight up in the sky, going super fast up and then turn right.

I looked out in the sky and saw spherical shape rocketing straight up leaving a thin white line of exhaust. This object was was going faster than I have seen anything travel; like faster than the speed of light.

Then, the object veered slowly to the right and continued on a slow course for about 15 minutes and disappeared out of range; it appeared to be a small rocket-shaped vehicle with bright lights at tip. It was mesmerizing to watch.

Upside down ice cream cone shape entering towards earth with the following array of colors: Brilliant green-blue-red-purple.

I was walking my dog. No wind. Clear skies. No clouds. No haze. No marine layers. No fog. Very clear skies with unusually bright stars. Very little white noise from the city lights. I happen to look skyward and saw a shape as if a upside down ice cream cone shape. The object glowed in a very strange array of colors. Picture a upside down ice cream cone. It fell from the sky at a perfect straight downward entry. The colors were strange. First green as if the first scoop of ice cream entering earth. Then a scoop of brilliant red followed by blue. The cone part was brilliant purple. The purple part was the same length as the first 3 colors if measured together. Strange but true!

I am a Registered Nurse and since seeing this, my normal heart rate has gone from a 72 to over a 100 beats per minute. I know according to physics that if it was debris or a falling object the color array would be different. This truly is so very strange.

Sighting in Cypress, Texas.

It headed a north direction with circular/Short cylinder shape.. It had a Red/Orange color all around (almost like fire) it never blinked and it kept itself illuminated the entire duration. No audible sound was heard or created, it had a controlled speed (not super fast almost floating like gravitating towards the north).

Distance wise it appeared to be much closer than commercial air-crafts that also flew around the space.

After we lost sight of the unknown flying object we stayed out to see if there could possible be more but none others were seen.

My neighbor knocked on my door and asked me to come outside because he was seeing something he had not ever seen before in the sky.

When we walked to the end of the driveway he indicated there were 2 large round glowing objects that crossed the sky from the South headed North and that it had stopped and hovered for a minute and then zagged across the sky together at a high rate of speed. When I got there those 2 were gone, but as we were talking another object appeared from the Southern sky and proceeded to move across the sky headed North with no sound. It appeared to be pretty large round glowing orange object. It never stopped and disppeared over the horizon in the North.

We stood around for awhile hoping to see another one, but did not. We did however see 2 helicopters flying from the South head North within a few minutes of seeing the object. We could not tell if they were military or not as it was dark and they were pretty high in the sky.

A little later as we were still standing outside looking a neighbor from down the street came by in her truck and asked us if we also had seen the lights. She also had seen the lights and was wondering what they were.

I have no idea what I saw, but I can say I have never seen anything like it before in the sky. I believe my neighbor had some type of picture on his iPhone.

Light with trail and a flash in the sky over Cypress, Texas

I was in the Lone Star College-CyFair parking lot facing west (on the south side of the tech building) in my pickup talking on my cell phone. I looked out the window which I had rolled down and observed a light that was long in length side to side traveling in a North-north-west direction.

If you looked at the sun, the object was 45 degrees up to the right of the sun, in the clearing of the clouds. It had like a trail, but it was not a contrail in anyway, then there was a flash and it was totally gone from the sky.

There were neither planes nor jets I could see in the sky at the time, there was moderate cloud cover, but my view was not obscured. I thought jet, but it was way too long to be a jet or conventional aircraft and I could not guess at the altitude, but maybe 60 degrees up and seemed very distant.

I am a former truck driver, current small business owner and college student.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Changed Colo

A single Triangle UFO flew quickly and silently over Cypress, Texas, at night.

Type of UFO: Triangle or V-shape like geese flying, with V having about 8 well defined, orange-ish lights evenly spaced along each leg of the V.

Direction of Flight: East to West.

Approximate Height above Ground: 5,000 feet.

Approximate Distance from Witnesses: 5,000 feet.

Color of Body: varied from 'shimmering black' to 'faint white cloud', though the lights on the leading edge V were pretty consistent in brightness and color. I would have said that it was trying to be camouflaged, except for the lights on the V.

Other Details:

1. My wife, my brother and I were in my spa. We were looking at constellations, and I had just pointed out a satellite that was moving west to east almost directly overhead. I often spend all of my spa time looking for satellites and meteors. This evening, after about 20 minutes of spa time, my peripheral vision caught the lights of the UFO. I immediately recognized it as one that I had seen on TV shows, like History and Discovery....the Triangle-shaped type.

I yelled at my wife and brother, who immediately witnessed the UFO and saw it for about 10 seconds. It was moving quickly, was flying straight and level, and made no sound.

As it went over my garage roof, I ran from the spa to my driveway, but a street lamp blinded me. The event was over.

I called 911 and Constable came out. We talked for 10 minutes. He had seen UFOs (2 bright, fast flying spheres) a long time ago. He was nice enough, but said that they only write up reports if a crime was committed....

My wife, my brother and I all had different perceptions of UFO size, height above ground, and distance from us, but we all saw it.

2. After the sighting, my wife talked about how the UFO looked faintly white, like a weak cloud. I then realized that, while looking for meteors that night, I had noticed an odd, faint, stationary white spot low in the sky. I first thought that it was a faint cluster of stars, but then I realized that I never saw a cluster of stars in that location. Then I just figured that it was a small, irregularly shaped cloud, and ignored it. Looking back, though, the odd looking cloud never moved, and it was the only cloud in the area...it was a clear night. That could have been the UFO, stationary, before I saw it moving.

Possible Abduction Attempt in Cypress, Texas

I was sleeping and I awoke by the covers on the bed being pulled tight arounds me at all corners of the bed. I couldn't move...I heard a loud humming noise in the room, so loud that it hurt my ears, and then a bright light came pouring into the room and I lifted my head and screamed to for my husband who fell asleep on the couch...I screamed as loud as I could and it wouldn't come out loud, it came out so soft but I could hear what I was yelling....then a small blue circle of light came out of the ceiling and beamed down to my husbands side of the bed...I was still trying to yell for my husband but nothing was coming out and I was comletedly paralyzed...Then all of the sudden the blue light went back up through the ceiling and the covers were loose again, I pulled back the covers and when I came up out of the bed, a red beam of light shot out of the bedroom window....I told my husband, I'm not nuts but I know what I saw and felt....I never believed in this ! kind of stuff before, and so when I told my husband what had happened, he told me to go online and read the stories and this is so true as to what happend to me.

Orange/Amber Light seen from Cypress over Orange County Sky, turned & moved towards the beach.

Orange/Amber Light seen from Cypress over Orange County Sky, then moved towards the beach.

This is my fourth time seeing it, always after 11:30pm PST... Many people thought I was making it up until they got to see it too! (yes, I ran and got them so I wasn't alone starring at it.) Tonight my parents finally witnessed it! I ran through the house and woke them up. I rarely look to the skies at night searching for strange lights or objects, but it seems that when I check out what I think is Sirius (the brightest star I can see from our crappy smog infested, light polluted skies here in SoCal.) late at night, lately I have seen this object... I just happen to catch this Orange object sometimes when I look towards that star. It flies higher than a normal plane would, has NO blinking lights, it sometimes changes from Orange/Amber to Red-ish color then back to Orange/Amber, and then blacks out for a few seconds then lights back up. The third time I seen the thing, it was hovering and flying lower than the second time, it change from like a round bar shape... to a perfect circle, (It would help to mention that I ran into the house and grabbed the binoculars before hand, so I was lucky enough to watch it change shape.) The object (if it is the same one over and over again?) has no wings, makes no noise, and moves in different directions and sometimes hovers in one spot for a little while. I was so glad my friend ran to my house to let me know it was back out in the sky, because THIS TIME I could grab my parents so they don't think I'm nuts anymore. I know this won't be the last I see of it, because it's been 4 times already in less than 6 months and I'm not searching for it every night... There has to be someone else out there besides us who have seen this thing... especially over Huntington Beach area where it seems to fly over sometimes. Once, it dropped/emitted 2 bright blue-ish white objects from under it that fell straight towards the ocean water, yes, it had to be over the water, it was far far out there. I was NOT the only person to witness that, and we both were like, did you see that!? What ! did it s hoot out?! It seemed like it shot out the bright objects because they looked like they went downwards faster than a falling object. It was fast... We were on my roof at that moment trying to get a better look at it through binoculars. No noise... this thing was quiet as can be and when it would pick up speed, still no noise. I'm not saying aliens, but it's for sure not a satellite because it moves in different directs and hovers, it's not a plane, it hovers and has NO blinking lights and no sound for the speed it goes, not a helicopter, flies way to high and fast with yet again, no noise..., not a balloon, not a chinese lantern, and not a blimp, NO WAY, I'm familiar with all of those. If you don't believe me, I suggest if you live around my area of Orange County,CA., you check the night skies from around 11:00pm 'till 1:00am every now and then, your bound to see it if my neighbors and I have already seen it four times, and two out of the four were just this month alone. From now on, I'm going to check every night around 12:00-1:00am... I wish someone could tell me what we keep seeing. At least I'm not the nut who seen a UFO now, now my neighbors are right with me on this one! ...relief, but still very curious as to what I have seen more than once. Next time I'll be ready with my Video camera attached to my binoculars. (it works!) I'm not joking or making any of this up, I wouldn't even write this out, but I'm hoping to get some answers or at least someone else who seen it too...

Occurred: 2008-07-03 22:01 Local

Location: Cypress, TX, USA

Shape: Light


Orange flickering light northwest of Houston observed from Highway 290

While driving northwest on highway 290, I observed an orange light directly ahead of me, high up and flickering as if it were a flame.

It moved slowly toward the northeast, and though I was driving near 70, I didn’t seem to get any closer. It took a slow turn toward the southeast, parallel to 290.

The roof of my car began to obscure it, and I had to lean forward and look to the right to keep it in view, glancing every few seconds at the road to keep from swerving. During one of these glances, the object either disappeared or darted off.

The whole even lasted maybe 30 seconds.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

Bright white fireball with a blue tail over Orange County.

My wife and I were driving on Cerritos Ave. en route to the 605 freeway onramp. A bright white fireball shot down from the sky. Very quick and abrupt. I was the only one to fully witness this quick incident in vivid detail.

My wife saw a flash of brightness from the corner of her eye. Similar to a "shooting star," what I saw was remarkably closer and larger in perspective. It didn't look to be far away in space but nearby in our sky.

The core was bright white and had a glowing aura of blue. The tail appeared blue as well.

It shot somewhat diagonally in a slight south to north direction and disappeared from my vision behind a cluster of trees.

Rather than streaking across the sky, it gave me the impression that it was crashing down.

a perfect sphere travels across the face of the full moon under telescope magnification

I was viewing moon with a large telescope a 13 inch f 4.5 dobsonium with a wide field 20mm ocular . the moon full at 88 power and my field of view had the moon centered perfectly. Very clear perfectly focused. From right to left a sphere dark not black traveled across the face of the moon. No lights no other movment . This was like nothing I have ever seen before. It was so regular and normal looking. The size for scale ,moon size of a basketball very bright, object dark the size of a small pea.

I have been building telescopes for 22 years reference california sidwalk astronomy.

I have never seen in all my years any ufos or the like. I just do not believe the hype, but this has me very upset, scared, confused. I looked at the moon without scope nothing nada it just vanished after its shawdow passed in front of the moon.

look i was taking photos of a bad storm on Sept 1, 2003 @5:23pm in Cypress Texas. i took my camera outside to get pictures of the storm as it rolled in. just as i was done taking pictures it (what ever it was came out of the clouds) and hovered, it went up and down and side to side as if it was trying to control itself because of the strong winds. .

i was able to see it real good. it was a shiny metilic disk shape.

the clouds reflected of the object. Now the storm was moving NE. after it hovering for about 15 to 20 seconds the object started moving NW very slow then in a blink it took off. No sound at all

Air Force Test Missile Out West
Fri Sep 20, 1:25 AM ET


VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) - An Air Force missile test Thursday provided a spectacular light show seen over California and much of the West, as far away as Utah and New Mexico.

The colorful contrail was seen soon after the unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile blasted off at 7:36 p.m. from an underground silo at the Vandenberg military base north of Santa Barbara.

"The smoke went up in spirals as the sun was setting and turned into an orange, amber color. It was like a flower going into bloom pretty quickly," said Simon Cox, who saw it from a restaurant terrace in Santa Barbara.

The missile traveled about 4,200 miles in about 30 minutes, striking a predetermined target at the Kwajalein Missile Range in the western chain of the Marshall Islands, the Air Force said.

Vandenberg spokeswoman Kelly Gabel said clear conditions were responsible for the spectacular light show.

"We do this two or three times a year, but because the weather was so perfect we decided to launch it early," Gabel said. As a result, people were still awake to see it, and although the sun had set, sunlight below the horizon glinted off unspent fuel particles and water droplets.

"Suddenly we're getting calls from people as far away as New Mexico who saw it and want to know what it is," Gabel said.

The mission was directed by the 576th Flight Test Squadron at Vandenberg and the 341th Space Wing and the 341st Space Wing, from Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.

The purpose was to test launch systems and the missile's accuracy and reliability.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 43342
Occurred: 2001-09-30 10:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2005-04-05 21:46 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes+
No of observers: 1

Location: Cypress, CA, USA

Shape: Disk


starlike metal disk sighted in daylite hovering in fixed position in sky above military airfield.

3-25-05 The following is a discription of a sighting that I had of an unidentified aerial object that occurred about the 3rd or 4th week of sept.,2001, or 1st week of Oct.,2001.The time of day was about 10:00-10:30 A.M. The location was in south Cypress, Ca.just east of Los Alamitos Airport.

I was walking my dog near the Navy golf course. It was sunny out and the sky was mostly clear except for some cirrus clouds overhead. While my dog was sniffing around a gopher hole in the field, I looked up in the sky directly above me to look at the clouds,when I noticed a bright object that looked like a star sitting there among the clouds. It was in blue, slightly hazy sky. It actually was a little larger in appearance than a star. More like a small silvery disk. The pecular thing about it was that it was not moving at all.!! Yet the cirrus clouds were moving to the east, they were drifting past the object while it remained in its exact spot in the sky.

As I continued to watch the object,it occurred to me that it was too late in the morning for a star to be visible in the sky. Stars disappear shortly after sunrise. Thi object looked slightly larger than the star Sirius, but more like a metal disk than an actual star. It looked silver in color. It would brighten somewhat then dim in a regular pattern, about every few seconds.

I observed this object for around 15 to 20 minutes.It did not move that entire time.My dog was getting impatient so I started walking while still looking up to watch the object. All the time I watched it, it did not move from its location.

An occasional cirrus cloud would drift over it, sometimes obscurring it from view. This gave me the impression that the object was at least 40,000 feet high,since I think that is about how high cirrus clouds occur at.

From where I stood in the field,the object was overhead at about 70-80 degrees elevation and at a direction of approximately 10-20 degrees east of true north. Finally, it was obscurred completely by thicker clouds and that was the last that I saw the object.

A Baloon would have drifted with the clouds. This object remained in that spot. It definately looked metalic, though very far away.There was no sound that I could discern.

Due to the terrorist event of 911 just having occurred a few weeks before this sighting,my mind was not preparred to deal with this wierd event, so I put it in the back of my mind. Recently I was reading reports on your website and this experience of mine jumped back to my remembrance. I hope this is of interest!

Object sited by wife. we stopped the car and got out. We both observed the white object at a great height, several thousand feet. Wifes first observation was to call it a parachute. There did appear to be a black spot on it. Object appeared to move erratically to southwest. Black spot disappeared periodically. Looked like it was circular then appeared to be oblong. We saw it for a few minutes then left to go home and get binoculars and a camera. We could not see it anywhere after returning. We did see commercial aircraft flying in the same general area afterwards, possibly in the approach of Houston Intercontinental Airport.

WHITE CIRCULAR LIGHTS

BACK IN 1996, MY NEPHEW AND I WERE OUT ON A DRIVE IN SEAL BEACH, CA AND THERE WAS A SUMMER STORM THAT SUDDENLY CAME IN. AS WE WERE DRIVING I SAW A CIRCULAR GLOWING LIGHT AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A SPOT LIGHT THEN SUDEENLY IT DIVIDED INTO TWO, THEN FOUR, THEN IT WOULD SHOOT OFF IN ALL DIRECTIONS AT HIGH SPEEDS COME BACK TOGETHER AS ONE THEN DIVIDE AGAIN. THEN WE PROCEDED TO GO HOME BECAUSE THE STORM WAS PICKING UP HIGH WINDS. WHEN WE GOT HOME IN CYPRESS,CA. THATS WHEN THE SIGHTINGS REALLY BECAME BIZARE AND SCARY. IT WAS LIKE THOSE LIGHTS WE SEEN HAD FOLLOWED US AND WERE IN THE CLOUDS, MY NEPHEW SCREAMED FOR ME TO COME OUTSIDE, I DID,LOOKED UP AND THERE WAS ABOUT 15-20 WHITE CIRCULAR LIGHT ABOVE IN THE SKY, ONCE AGAIN IT WAS ONE, THEN IT DIVIDED INTO TWO, THEN MUTIPLES, THEY STARTED TO ROTATE IN A CIRCULAR MOTION THEN THEY WOULD COME BACK TOGETHER THEN DIVIDE THEN SHOOT OFF,COME TOGETHER AND AS THEY CAME TOGETHER THE LOUDEST THUNDER I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE WOULD ERUPT. WE RAN BACK INTO THE HOUSE, FREAKED OUT, I WENT UP TO MY ROOM TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AS WE LOOKED THERE WERE SO MANY LIGHTS ALL SIZES FROM SAMLL CIRCULARS TO LARGE SHOOTING AT HIGH SPEED TO ONLY STOP ON A DIME THEN SHOOT OFF AGAIN. THEN AS THE STORM PASSED THE OBJECTS LEFT WITH THE STORM. THAT YEAR I OBSERVED MANY UFO'S BUT THEY WERE ALWAYS A WHITE LIGHT IN A CIRCULAR SHAPE WITH HIGH SPEED AND CONTROL.

SIGHTING TWO. AGAIN MY FRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GYM. WE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME SAID WHAT IS THAT, IT LOOKED LIKE THE GOODYEAR BLIMP WAS FALLING FROM THE SKY AND I THOUGHT IT WAS. THEN AS IT CAME CLOSER TO THE GROUND ABOUT A MILE OR TWO FROM US IT SUDDENLY SHOT UP INTO THE SKY AND DISAPPEARED, MY FRIEND AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SAID WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT.

I NEVER KNEW WHO TO TELL BECAUSE PEOPLE THOUGHT WE WERE CRAZY OR ON DRUGS HALLUCINATING, BUT WE WERE NOT, CLEAN AND SOBER BOTH TIMES. TODAY I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS SIGHT ABD THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE OF VALUE TO YOUR CAUSE.
